CCC Forum

If anyone is unsure of how to use the forum and get the best from it, I am willing to host a small informal session to take people through the forum and its features. For reasons of space, I can only accommodate 4 or 5 people at a time, but if there is sufficient interest I can always hold more than such meeting.

I'm willing to help out with this too, either informally before/after a club meeting (I'll bring my laptop) or happy to invite people over to mine for a demo. And cake.

Can I just sign up for the cake David?

Absolutely, I'll stick something in the calendar

I'd be interested in learning more about the forum particularly posting photos. And cake of course!

I'd been thinking about a quick "how to" for photo posting, I'll put something up this afternoon.

It might be worthwhile to set up a number of "how to's" and make them stickies in the General forum for things which people might not otherwise find. Some suggestions:

• Creating a signature
• Using the BB code tags (which are not particularly intuitive)
• Using PM's
• Checking for unread messages
• Adding an avatar
• Subscribing to threads and forums
• Control panel settings besides those listed above

There might be other things as well which we will find as people start using the forum. We can set up a thread to solicit feedback and see how people are getting on with the forum at the start of a meeting in two or three weeks time.

I've completed the "how to post images" sticky and placed a copy in the Image Critique and Photo Sharing sections. I'll start work on another topic covering the items above now.
